+podoal Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hello, Nice to see you again. I've just heard Korea Roll Call. That's why I write this message. I've been caching here since October of '08, too. When i started here, there were 500 hidden caches, now almost 2,000 hidden caches. See you this weekend, the Tea Time event in Seoul.

+Alkhalikoi Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hey there. There is a moderate chance I will be in Seoul on business (staying near Olympic Stadium) in April and, as flight work out, I'll end up with a free day before my meetings the day before. I was hoping to go to Panmunjon, but looks like there are no tours there on the Monday. To wit, I will have a free day to explore Seoul and want to pick up at least a few caches while I'm over there. Any suggestions for a good cluster of caches to pick up? I'll probably grab the ones by Olympic Stadium on morning walks before meetings, but I've never been to Korea and do want to spend most of my time that day recovering from the flight and seeing a few of the museums/sites, but do also want to grab at least three or four or five while I'm in country. Any comments appreciated! Quote Link to comment

I have a free Monday (all day) on April 12, and a free morning, until about 1PM on Friday, April 16 (my flight is out about 6PM from Inchon). It's my first trip to Korea, so I do want to hit a few sites and buy a couple of souviniers for the kids. I'm staying at COEX, so I should be able to do some trinket shopping there during my conference. Don't know how that plays with work schedules, but it would fun to grab a few caches and lunch or dinner. This is subject to the demands of the trip a bit, but would be awesome. Quote Link to comment

Thanks! Alright - sent you an email regarding getting the map to you before you leave in that case. My buddy says he can transfer that map to you fairly easily. Map is just short of 2GB of data but covers from just north of Seoul south to Cheongju and in the west from Incheon to Wonju in the east, so will easily cover your interests. Quote Link to comment
+boiler-todd Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Looks like my plans have been set and now is very limited in time. Thanks to my travelling partners. I arrive June 2 late afternoon and leave June 4 early afternoon. Most likely will not have time to geocache due to many planned activities. If anyone is interested in trading some travel bugs let me know. I do have two travel bugs that want to go to Asia. I can leave at the front desk at my hotel in Suwon City. Please send me an email if interested. Thanks, Boiler-Todd Quote Link to comment

+silverquill Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 We've been caching here since February of '08. Who else is caching in the "Land of Morning Calm"? Don't get on the forums often. My wife and I are in the city of Cheonju, about 20 miles south of Pyeongtek and Osan. We both teach English in the public schools here, and will soon mark our second anniversary of arriving in Korea. We plan to be here several more years. We both cache, attend events when they jive with our schedule, and now trying to increase the cache population. I have about 45 caches placed from the DMZ to Mokpo. Hope to get a few more out on Jejudo in a few weeks. Always glad to meet new geocachers, whether Koreans, expatriates, or visitors.
